This report shares the findings from the Future of Philanthropy Open Foresight research project. It identifies and discusses some common challenges today, and also explores several shared ambitions. What is clear from all our discussions is that we are seeing a fundamental shift in when we give, how we give, how we receive and how change is created through philanthropy. In addition, the report highlights several important emerging opportunities such as the rise of the global elite, the increasing influence of female philanthropists and the increasing demand for transparency. Some of the issues addressed are specific to key locations but most are universal and therefore of relevance to most cities.

Introduction and Context
Philanthropy, or private resources for the public good, has a huge positive benefit on society and the world in which we live. Our individual and collective desire to maximise positive impact means that, as the world continues to evolve, so too must the practice of philanthropy.
Interconnected Drivers of Change
There are three significant, inter-related, macro drivers of change that are common challenges impacting philanthropists around the world today. They are Power, Knowledge and, inherent to both of these, Trust. They will shape the evolution of philanthropy over the next decade .
Changing Ways to Give
Many giving mechanisms have existed for decades. However, the last decade or so has seen a blossoming of new ways to give; at one end we see the growth of Impact Investing and at the other crowd-funding. Looking ahead, as the world becomes increasingly cautious, there is increased fear of corruption, expect greater scrutiny around how money is raised and the way it is distributed.
Conclusion and Questions
As we move forward, there are many issues impacting the future of philanthropy. Some of these will drive change for donors, charities, intermediaries and for corporates. Others will require action by governments and regulators. Here are a series of questions that could be considered in the planning of a future agenda.
